The Harry Potter series is one of the biggest franchises in the world. There’s a good chance you’ve probably either read the books, seen the movies, played the video games, or even visited Hogwarts in “real life”. In fact, with over 500 million copies sold, the Harry Potter franchise is the best-selling fiction book series in history. But if there’s one thing we know, in 2022, nothing is safe or sacred from the Left. And no one learned that harder than the famed writer of the beloved series, J.K. Rowling.
Originally, perhaps no one was more surprised by the franchise’s popularity than the author herself. Rowling’s early life as an author didn’t reap much success; while writing the first Harry Potter book, The Sorcerer’s Stone, she <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-rags-to-riches-story-of-jk-rowling-2015-5">lived</a> off government welfare in a tiny apartment in London. When sent to publishers in 1995, Rowling’s work was widely rejected, until one small publisher <a href="https://www.historic365.com/article/1997-06-26">picked up</a> her book in 1997. Almost overnight, her books were a colossal success.
